Free Tax Preparation

FOR: Low-income and elderly (ages 65 and up) can have their taxes prepared free of charge. Exceptions include self-employed, non-resident aliens, anyone with foreign income, and the 65 and older with large incomes. Other exceptions may be turned away on-site.

FROM: A team of volunteers are available for tax preparation. Most of the volunteers are data entry but April Schnardthorst is a paid tax preparer that owns her own business and has been doing taxes for over 10 years. She finalizes all returns and electronically files them. Contact April.

What

Your Federal and State tax returns are prepared on the spot and you leave with copies for your records. All returns are electronically filed for your convenience. Make sure you bring your driver's license (and that of your spouse), birth certificate copies for all dependents, and your tax documents. For a more detailed checklist, download our Questionnaire.
